Zhang Xiaobao stood in front of the window, looking at the rain outside, but it never seemed to stop, and muttered: "There is no shortage of water here. I don't know if the premature places are like ours. When the harvest arrives in those places immediately, the grain in the fields does not need to be harvested, but sprouts directly, waiting to be planted."
"Should not? If this is the case, this year's grain prices will rise a lot. It is impossible to rain at the same time across the country. Just like there is no drought in other places, the drought-stricken areas have already failed. This is not bad. When the time comes, we will wait for the court's relief; Li Longji is still good in the early days."
Wang Juan also felt tired of the endless rain now. The main reason was that the house was humid and the swimming pool outside could not be used. He stayed in the house and didn't do anything. If he wanted to read a book, he had to light up the lamp.
Zhang Xiaobao feels that he is indeed a bit unreasonable. The lack of food has nothing to do with Zhang Wang's two Zhuangzi. Naturally, some people worry that he can't collect some food now and sell it at a fair price. The purpose of seeking credit for the family is already If you have reached it, you don't have to continue to bother.
As for buying at a low price and selling it specifically for the sake of making the country difficult to make money, he is not prepared to make too much money. Unlike the grain obtained during the drought, the amount of grain is only a few hundred thousand catties. Taking the opportunity to increase prices, if you want to make a fortune here, you will need at least tens of thousands of tons. It is easy to be targeted by others.
"Xiaobao, it's better to go catch the fish with an umbrella. It should be easier to catch at this time. I used to hear people say that when it rains, fish are easy to catch the bait."
Wang Juan was a little annoyed by this air pressure, and when Zhang Xiaobao was silent, he proposed next to him.
"Then it depends on what kind of fish we don’t catch, but we catch it in our pond. It just so happened that after two days of rain, the ground was already wet, and people could connect the six ponds. The construction is easy, one pit is dug."
Zhang Xiaobao didn’t want to catch it. He and Wang Juan could only drag a very small net and throw it away. I don’t know how long it would take to catch one on the shore. As for fishing, it’s not necessary. After thinking about it, when you encounter a slightly larger fish, you can drag them two into the water.
"Also, look at how many clothes and straw hats there are in the grocery store, and send them to the farmers to dig trenches. We will take care of the food. One person will pay three cents of wages and let the doctors in the village make some medicinal soup. Don't catch a cold anymore."
Wang Juan agreed with Zhang Xiaobao’s words and immediately arranged it. The dealers were also idle at home. As soon as they heard that there was work to be done, the labor at home came out with tools. They didn’t care about meals and the wages, so they could do it for the master’s house. Something is the wish in their hearts.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't stay in the house anymore. They were accompanied by Pomegranate. They held up a big umbrella and ran to the small river in front of the yard to watch the river slowly rise.
The number of guests in the Shuiyunjian restaurant is much less. Only some people who are from outside and who are unwilling to go back in the rain continue to live in the courtyard behind the restaurant, but the market has not been affected. It seems that there are more people than usual. a little.
Many of these people mainly come here to sell vegetables. The green vegetables are not afraid of being drenched by the rain. When they get wet, they look greener. The price given by Ergou is a little higher, and the price of the fruit has been lowered. At this time, it is usually sweet. The fruit is not sweet anymore.
When the evening came, the rain finally became heavier, and accompanied by the thunder and thunder, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't seem to hear such a big movement. They still got up to study. Pomegranate didn't sleep anymore, and sat in the doorway. , Yawned and watched the two young boys studying there. From time to time, they were frightened by the thunder, and when they saw the lights in the inner and outer rooms, they settled down.
The four people who fled in the yard of Shuiyunjian did not go to sleep either. Xiaoman always cried. When she was an older sister, she would hold her in her arms, carry what she learned in her mouth, and coax her younger brother and two adults. He was talking quietly there.
As Wang Juan said, not all places will rain. Henan Province is still dripping. Xiaohong and Cherries are calculating under the window. These days, a lot of eggs have been collected, some are directly pickled, and some are directly pickled. Change to something that day, and try not to keep it if you can, otherwise there is no place to put it.
Yao Chong has gone through two folds in a row, and has not given a reply until now. I don’t know when this matter will be delayed. He has already planned to leave early tomorrow morning. The county magistrate Cheng is also arranging people to pack things up and prepare. Leave at dawn, after all, Sanshui County can't miss a county magistrate.
Only those businessmen who also brought food and prepared to get some benefits didn’t mean to leave at all. They hated Xiaohong and Cherry in their hearts. Not only did they bring so much food as a gift to others, they also used those eggs. Go to the state capital outside in exchange for food to lower prices here.
The people who came to sell food in the past really made a fortune. They wanted to get more benefits, and they took the money out to buy food. When they came back, they found that the local people were no longer rushing like they used to. I bought it. Almost all local government offices have posted notices saying that a large amount of grain will be delivered soon, so don't buy any more expensive ones.
Er Niu is not like them. He listened to the little boy's words, sold the grain on his hand, and drove directly to Shandong without stopping at all. He had more tasks. In addition to continuing to pull the rocks, he had to go to the beach. The place went to buy kelp, spent the money, dried the kelp, and shipped it back to Zhuangzi.
…
Two days passed quietly. While the children were waiting, the sun came out one morning. Maybe God knew that the children were anxious. There was a thunderstorm last night, and before dawn, it became a clear sky.
All the young children of Zhang Wang Gejiazhuang who are suitable for their ages are ready. There is a Rubik’s Cube with one man, which is quite a lot when added together. There are fifty-five people. Some have no children at home. Adults come to watch the excitement. Some have two. The child is old enough to come here naturally holding hands to wait for the competition.
In addition to them, there is Li Xun, the son of the Li family. His team is the most spectacular. Together with the foreign children who have received news from others and signed up, they are combined together. There are more than 80 people, especially among them. Two "gifted" children who always talk about poetry in the restaurant.
The fathers of these two children may be a little worse in the imperial examination, but after educating them, their usual sternness is not bad at all. They practiced writing calligraphy at the age of three or four, and now they are eleven or two years old. For many years, the foundation is pretty good.
The appearance of these outsiders made the little boy on Zhuangzi feel a great deal of pressure, and felt that the first of the four items would run away from them.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan knew about this situation. They discussed the situation. In the end, they absolutely did not take any remedial or comfort measures. It would be better to let the children on Zhuangzi see how good others are, lest they always think that knowing a few words is better. Others are strong.
Seeing the gap, fortunately, I worked harder when studying. A small number of those who were hit could correct their thinking through some persuasion. The two people most looked forward to Liuer, wanting to see what she would do this time.
The test is about to begin. The venue was chosen in the open space in front of the Shuiyunjian restaurant. Someone had already cushioned it with sand. The tables and chairs were neatly arranged, and the four treasures of the study were placed on it.
The little children sat on the chairs one by one, looking around from time to time, looking a little nervous. Many people around were watching, including the villagers on the Zhuangzi, the adults who came with their children from outside, and Those boring "talents" also sat by the window of the restaurant.
The first contest was the Rubik’s Cube. Calligraphy was originally arranged. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were afraid that once Zhuangzi’s children lost, they obviously couldn’t show off their strength. They didn’t expect them to win the first place. It is enough to show the good side of yourself.
On the roof of the second floor, Zhang Xiaobao was held by the two maids in the yard and looked down. He also tied a few ropes to his body and accidentally dropped the two of them. Today, the roof of the second floor is not open to the public.
"Xiaobao, I heard that two children with good calligraphy came from outside this time. Would you say that Li Xun would lose to them? If Li Xun didn't win once and hated this game, we would be self-defeating. "
Wang Juan looked at the situation below, turned his head to give Zhang Xiaobao a look, his lips moved, and asked Zhang Xiaobao.
"Probably not? How he said he was educated in that environment, and the teacher he invited was better than elsewhere. Calligraphy not only requires practice, but also comprehension. He is definitely more mature than some children of the same age."
Zhang Xiaobao is actually a little worried. In case Li Xun, a child who is timid to win, fails to show his original ability for a while, and if he really loses, then it will be troublesome. Future plans need to be adjusted accordingly, and the effect will also be discounted.
Talking here, the other side is about to start, all the children’s Rubik’s Cubes have been collected, and the dedicated people will disrupt them in the same order, and then send them back to everyone. With an order, the little children They all worked hard to turn the Rubik's Cube in their hands.
Some children are anxious, and the harder they work, the slower they are. Li Xun appears to be more stable among these people. When he got the Rubik's Cube, he glanced at others first. He felt that he could win the game. The one he found in his family. After pondering together, he has easily figured out two aspects. He doesn't believe that others can also have this ability.
Two hands were playing with the Rubik’s Cube there, every stroke of the strength was just right. Never let the Rubik’s Cube get stuck in there because of his strength. When he faced him, a little girl directly shouted: “I’m right. All right."
